Our Strategy:

This client began investing with Rainmaker in 2015, initially seeking to reduce exposure to unpredictable public markets. Over the years, we have built and evolved their portfolio to deliver steady income and long-term growth, while diversifying across sectors to manage risk.

The portfolio today includes:

  • Institutional-grade residential and storage real estate for stable, inflation-hedged cash flow.
  • Private credit and mortgage investments for consistent, asset-backed yields.
  • Essential-service operating companies in healthcare and industrial sectors for durable returns.
  • Alternative income sources such as royalties.
  • Selective late-stage private equity for targeted long-term appreciation.
  • Tax-advantaged structuring (for non-registered accounts) through holdings that may pay a portion or all distributions as return of capital, protecting after-tax profits. (Not applicable to registered accounts.)

Income + Growth Sources:

Income (monthly / quarterly):

  • Rental income from diversified real estate portfolios.
  • Interest from private credit and mortgage programs.
  • Distributions from operating businesses in essential-service industries.
  • Royalties from intellectual property portfolios.
  • Many income streams (in non-registered accounts) may include return of capital, reducing current taxable income.

Growth (total return):

  • Value appreciation in real estate assets.
  • NAV growth and special distributions from operating companies.
  • Upside from late-stage private equity.
  • Expansion of recurring-service and royalty-driven revenues.
Current Portfolio Outlook:
  • 100% of current portfolio distributions paid on time for all investments made since 2019; even during periods of market uncertainty.
  • Including legacy pre-2019 holdings in energy and tourism, the portfolio’s lifetime on-time distribution rate is ~80%, with those sectors impacted by unpredictable energy sector events but remaining active in recovery strategies.
  • Resilience in action: Despite sector-specific challenges, the portfolio maintains an annual forecasted return of ~7.5%, demonstrating the strength of diversification and disciplined management.
  • Forward positioning: The client continues to reinvest with Rainmaker, confident in the portfolio’s ability to adapt and protect wealth in changing conditions.

The Outcome:

They feel in control and optimistic - without checking markets daily.

Performance Highlights:

Years as a Client:
10 Years
Number of Private Investments:
16
Distributions Paid OnTime:
  • 100% of portfolio purchases since 2019 - a consistent track record through changing market conditions.
  • Legacy positions from before 2019 in energy and tourism were impacted by unpredictable sector events, temporarily reducing portfolio-wide on-time payments to 80%.
  • These holdings remain active, with recovery strategies in place, and do not affect the reliability of the current portfolio’s income stream.
Forecasted Annual Return Range:
Target 7.5 - 8.5% (income-led)

Why They Chose Rainmaker:

Respect for the emotional side of money, paired with disciplined selection and targets.

Life after the shift:

Relief, clarity, and steady progress are finally in sync.
